Ocho

Baby girl- 8 whole months! You are big, a big ol mess. You are in to everything. Crawling and pulling up and diggining in purses and pulling out baskets and drawers and eating remotes and shoes and finding dog toys and trying to climb stairs and wrestling your pig and showing your baby teeth and feeding yourself snacks and too wild to change diapers and and and and

The list goes on forever. You my girl are becoming a toddler. I don't like it, so stop growing up. Well, Daddy and I are having lots of fun with you. I just hate that the infant days are behind us. You are pretty crazy. You like to talk a LOT, you are into everything and you love to cheese to show your baby teeth. Speaking of teeth you have two with THREE on the way. 

This month you did such a better job sleeping. I can't thank you enough on that one. You are still very attached to Momma and Daddy sometimes, but really Momma. You really should figure this one out. I promise I'm onto your ways, Daddy is puddy in your hands. 

We squeaked by this month with no major illness, just a sad little baby cough. You are still playing paci ninja at school and patting a little rough. I think you are being just like Daddy and pestering people. He disagrees. You have also latched on to a friend, Denton. Yep, that's a boy. Daddy doesn't like it. 

You are so fun at this age. You are very playful, sweet and learning so much. You make my day, every day. I still can't believe you are mine. 

While I think you are oh so wonderful I would appreciate you stopping some things. Your aggressive grabbing on my face & neck fat. You leave scars. Your inability to lay still while I change you. I will say my diapering while you crawl away has gotten much better. Lastly, please stop crying and having a panic attached when we change your clothes. I know you like to go naked, but it's cold. 

You my darling are an adventure, you are a magnificent book. I can't wait to turn the page. 

Love you toots!

ABJ is 7 months! 
Wow it's just crazy to think we are closer to one year old. This little girl is our sweet angel and makes us happier every day. This past month has been plagued with another cold. Apparently, babies get sick. Her ears, lungs and chest still sound great so we just continue our routine of slather the Vicks, run the humidifier and elevate, elevate, elevate. Outside of the sickness we've just been having a ball! 

Bella rolls from one spot to another, scoots on her tummy and refuses to crawl. Things I'm learning from this 1) I really don't care if she ever crawls or walks because she's already into way too much. 2) this is a strong foreshadowing that this little girl will do things her way in her time. 3) she is so persistent with the rolling thing that there is no corner or obstacle that she will not maneuver in rolling position and avoid to crawl. Stubborn like her daddy. 

She is still loving school and still the only girl in her class. She out weighs most of the boys and I think is getting a bully reputation. She likes to give affection by patting aggressively and pulling hair. I'm guessing she isn't well liked by the 3 boys. She has officially received the nickname of "paci ninja". Any where there is a paci, she steals it and puts it in her mouth. We probably get talked bad about a lot.


Here are some favorites....
